Nerdy Football Analysis: The oft-injured tight end’s left knee appeared to give out on the MetLife Stadium turf in the back of the end zone on a near-touchdown catch late in the first quarter. HC Kyle Shanahan was openly critical of the playing surface in the week leading up to the injury after losing a handful of players against the Jets one week earlier. The 49ers should be able to withstand the blow as George Kittle is expected back from his own knee sprain in Week 4.
